Running the 10K with Young Runners

The Cap10K is a great race for runners of all levels. If you want to include the entire family, try jogging with a stroller. Your kiddos may see all the other runners and may want to jump in and run a mile or two (depending on their age). Plus they will see how important fitness is to you and will likely value fitness in their lives. If you are planning on running with an older elementary school age or middle school age runner, make sure you practice longer distance runs prior to the 10K. Just like adults, kids love running with friends too, so recruit a friend or two to run the 10K with your kiddo, and see how the power of friendship can carry your kiddo to the finish line!

Young Guns Youth Fitness programs teach kiddos to love running as well as the proper form and technique in order to be life long runners.

The Statesman Capitol 10,000 is the largest 10K race in Texas and one of the top 10 in the nation. In its 40th year, the Cap10K will take place on April 23, 2017 in downtown Austin. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or a beginner, come see why the Cap10K is a rite of spring in Austin. You can come in your favorite super hero costume…or design your own shirt and run with friends.
